A man was arrested Monday night in relation to several burglaries and possession of drug paraphernalia after police caught him trespassing in a UA building, police reports stated.

Joe Deller, 24, of the 300 block of North Warren Avenue, was confronted by university police while he was rollerblading in the Stadium Club, 540 E. Vine Ave., reports stated.

According to reports, police recognized Deller from a previous offense and knew him as a methamphetamine user.

A background check on Deller showed he had an outstanding UAPD warrant against him and possible warrants issued by the Tucson Police Department, reports stated.

According to reports, Deller said he was in the club using the restroom and that custodial workers allowed him to use the facilities on another occasion.

Police discovered various tools, a random Social Security card, a UA key and a small pouch that contained five syringes and a spoon in Deller's fanny pack, reports stated.

Deller said he was still "shooting meth" and he was using the needles for that purpose, reports stated.

He said the last time he "shot up" was at lunchtime, reports stated.

Deller said he found the UA key a while ago and he thought it would be "cool" to keep it and he found the Social Security card earlier that day near East Sixth Street and North Fifth Avenue, reports stated.

According to reports, a detective later interviewed Deller in connection with several thefts and burglaries that have occurred on campus and cited him on suspicion of six burglaries.

Deller was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a public key and outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court on theft charges. He was transported to Pima County Jail.

Police went to the Old Chemistry building, 1306 E. University Blvd., at about 3:15 a.m. after a custodial worker reported a woman in the restroom on the first floor, reports stated.

An officer discovered Ruth Elias, 41, of the 11000 block of North Sanders Road on rollerblades in the building, reports stated.

Elias said she was in the building because she "had to use the potty," and she entered through an unlocked door, reports stated.

According to reports, police searched Elias and found a cloth sunglasses bag in her right sock that contained a small baggie with cotton remnants and a baggie with white power residue.

The bag also contained a hypodermic needle and a blue plastic spoon, reports stated.

Police found a two-inch smoking pipe with suspected marijuana residue hidden inside a lipstick holder in Elias' fanny pack, reports stated.

According to reports, a background check on Elias showed she had an outstanding warrant against her for failing to appear in court on driving on a suspended license charge.

Police arrested Elias for the outstanding warrant and cited her on suspicion of possessing drug paraphernalia, trespassing and outstanding warrants.

She was transported to pre-trial services and released.
